Road trip help

in August 2012 Moms
Me and DD are leaving on Wed to visit my family in Montreal. With one stop we can do the drive in about 6 hours. With DD I expect it to take longer. My dad is driving so I can sit in the back with DD....but how do I keep her entertained?

We're leaving around noon so I'm hoping for one nap at least but I'm sure she won't sleep the whole time. She's a very busy baby and I'm sure she will be angry that she can't crawl around.

I plan to bring snacks but I don't want her eating puffs for 7 hours straigt lol. Any suggestions for toys, activities etc?

    Maybe bring a new toy? Or someone recommended bringing a bag or bucket and let your LO take things out of the bag like a game.

    I agree with CRey about the bucket or bag. My DD loves pulling things out of my purse and diaper bag! And snacks are always good, too.

    I'm going to stalk this thread ... in mid August we are driving 8 hours to the OBX!  Debating leaving in the middle of the night in hopes that she sleeps the whole time.  Except when we get there, we'll have an awake 12 month old, we'll be exausted, and we can't check into the house until 2:00 pm.  I'm seriously dredding the "vaca"!

    Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016!  Thank you snow storm Jonas!
    EDD 10/15/16
    At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid.  Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth.  If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP.  My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!
